In addition to specific policies, those in the volatile industries are seeking stability. Industry leaders told Business Insider that investors, venture capitalists, and the Silicon Valley crowd will be listening for clear crypto guidelines, clarity on federal appointments, and a balance of innovation and regulation.
Chris Larsen, the billionaire co-founder of blockchain payments company Ripple, hopes that Harris strikes a similar tone to her 'pitch perfect' speech at the Democratic National Convention, which distinguished her from what he called the Biden administration's 'anti-business rhetoric.' He hopes to see her display that intimate knowledge at the debate.
For Bradley Tusk, a co-founder of venture capitalist firm Tusk Venture Partners and Democratic political strategist, policy proposals put forth during the campaign are mostly irrelevant, because they are merely designed to attract voters. 'Where the rubber meets the road is who they appoint. And that really, for tech, is going to determine what matters.'
With Harris at the podium instead of President Joe Biden, the business and tech sectors see a new opportunity for progress. The business and tech worlds will be watching closely to see how the candidates address key issues for their industries.
